If you loved Her Heart for a Compass, you will love A Most Intriguing Lady’ Sunday Times bestselling author Fern Britton Lady Mary Montagu Douglas Scott wants more from life than what is traditionally expected of the daughters of nobility in the Victorian era; marriage and servitude to her husband are not for her.

The time was necessary as both characters needed to learn more about themselves, to grow, to find what was important. Impressively, they used that time to learn to communicate, too. Let's face it; that is a rare thing in a romance. While it’s certainly a big relief to have that cleared up, I can prevaricate no longer; time to assess the merits of A Most Intriguing Lady. A fantastic historical mystery with plenty of passion as you would expect from the Duchess of York.
